"Release of MNT tokens are done by Ethereum-based smart contracts, specially used for distribution of tokens. 80% of 10 000 000 MNT are released during ICO launch. GoldMint team receives two million MNT tokens, and no more than 500 000 per quarter distributed via a special wallet. Some consultants receive MNT tokens two months after ICO launch. Smart contracts can automatically trade ETH into MNT. The number of tokens to be transmitted to a particular user depends on the sum at the time of its receipt by GoldMint. "

The amount payable to the investor is the following: SUM = (1 + (X / 12) * T) * Q where the number X (i.e., x%) is set by GoldMint based on market conditions. T= the amount of months the gold was loaned. Q= the interest tagged to the loan. Example: As of August 2017, the parameters would be X = 10%, Y = 28% per annum, and T = 1 year. This means that GoldMint receives 28% per year, an annual 10% of which goes to the investor.

Details of the miner rotation, miners’ rewards and incentives as well as details related to Custody Bot operations (e.g., assessment, weight, when allocated and withdrawn). Also stored on Graphene are all details related to GoldMInt’s GOLD transactions.

GoldMint’s blockchain, using the​ ​Graphene​ platform will be launched.

Advantages of such a choice compared to using an Ethereum private fork are as follows:

1. Safer - GoldMint blockchain uses its own coins rather than turing-complete smart contracts. 2. More productive - GoldMint uses PoS, is optimized for GOLD transactions as there are no other ICOs on the same platform. 3. Cheaper - no charge for ether commissions. 4. The Graphene blockchain supports PoS.

The Application Programming Interface (API) regulates the GOLD, distributing these tokens to the following entities: E-commerce that can use GOLD for transactions. Local banks and Monetary Financial Institutions (MFIs) that can use GOLD as collateral. The API also regulates the GOLD that is used as escrow for bank accounts and as financial guarantees.
